In Salem city the Republican and anti

A Mexican Paradise.

Queretaro Letter.
The Mexican Central train from the south
reaches this city through one Of the most pict-
uresque scenes in all Mexico. This is the Can
ada. An accent over the m gives this the
sound OF "Canyada." The Canada is ravine
several miles long. On either side rise the
steep mountain sides, very rocky aud barren
The bottom of the ravine varies in width from a
few rods to a furlone. and this bottom is little
paradise Every foot of it is under irrigation
and from end to emo the narrow strip is subdi-
vided into gardens in which almost everything
in fruits and vegetables may be seen growing.
To each garden there is a little house and a
family of natives. who seem to have attained the
highest degree of human content In places the
water flows through large pools lined with ma
sonry, and these the baths of this tropical
Utopia Oranges and bananas, and cocoanuts

Broadly speaking, patriotism is a species of

Rev Myron w Reed, at present the pastor of

character, and, while not orator, he is man
of great power in the pulpit. All that he says
is distinguished by originality. His sermons
like Emerson's essays in one respect You can
begin reading anywhere and enjoy them: Mr..
Reed was a lawyer and a soldier before he be-
came minister, and his power comes largely
from his secular experience. He never speaks
in an irreverent manner but he says a great
many things which most clergymen would
scarcely dare think
When he was the pastor Of the First Preshy-
terrain Church in Indianapolis, some years ago,
he told his congregation how he came to join the
army He was arguing that all great move
ments took their impetus from great public
meetings "Nine-tenths of all the voluntee
in the civil war joined the army through the in
huence. direct or indirect, of war meetings" he
said. THAT is how 1 came to do myself I

from Michigan az his body servant saying that
he had escaped from him just few weeks be-
fore Reed refused to give the up. The

colonel refused to enforce the order and the
regiment stood by him. A brigade of Illinois
troops was ordered out to quell the mutiny, but
they managed to let the Michigan boys under
stand that in no case would they fire them
The commander finally concluded to drop the

Rescrpt-A women, in the first clause of her

her husband absolutely; in the second clause She
provides life support for him on the farm; i'll the
next clause she declares that another man shall re
ceivc his support out of the farm sin accord with
former agreement, when the case finds there was
NJ agreement; in the next, it may be conjecturcd
she had in her mind some provision about monu-
ments for herself and husband, but she failed to
fully express it; and finally she orlers that still
another person, eff he proves faithful and remains
on the farm until the death of the before named
persons, shall have the residue of her estate and
that. ii he does not so behave the same shall be
divided among certain other persons.
